[Verse 1:]
I see the way that you're walkin' and I can't explain it
You in them tight blues somethin' about you
Curvin' and kickin' them hips and thighs, I can't believe my eyes, tell me is this true?
(Ho whoa)

[B-Section:]
(You wanna talk about dream type)
(She's the type of chick you take home with)
(That's the type of chick she was)
I couldn't see it, (no), I couldn't believe it, (no), I thought she'd do me right

[Chorus:]
I didn't know
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(She would play with my mind)
But I should've known
Mama told me she would play with my mind
I though she was a runway girl who wouldn't break my heart
From the very, very start she had it all fell apart, I should've
I should've listened when she said
Mama told me she would play with my mind
(She would play with my mind)

[Verse 2:]
Them type of girls ain't gon' never do you right

Mama told me she would play with my mind
(My mama told me she would yeah...)
But I should've known
Mama told me she would play with my mind
